1 page missing/Blank image when converting from pdf to images

Open arpitchoudhary-gep opened this issue 5 years ago • 7 comments

Describe the bug I was trying to convert a pdf to images using the module and one of the page is missing, getting a blank image.

Screenshots For all the pages the font style and size looks like this : image

For the page which is being skipped it looks like this : image

essentially rest of the pages are typed and the error page is scanned.

Please tell me if I am missing any settings or attributes which can fix this.

Thank you for using the official bug report template. It helps.

Can you tell me what OS and function call were used to convert your PDF?

Also, I you can send me the actual PDF so I'd have a test case it would be great.

If you feel that your PDF is somewhat sensible (but obviously not confidential) you can send it at [email protected] instead of posting it publicly.

Thank you.

Sorry i'm unable to send the pdf as it contains confidential information and when i tried to hide it, it changes the structure and then it is able to give the text instead of blank page.

No problem. I remember someone else having a similar problem and I think it was fixed by using cropbox=True.

You should also try to convert it directly with the pdftoppm and pdftocairo executables.

Unfortunately, I cannot understand how to convert my pdf directly with 'pdftopmm'. Can you elaborate it with an example?

Of course, (reopening)

To convert the image with pdftoppm, open a terminal (or cmd on Windows) and enter:

pdftoppm -r 200 -cropbox -jpeg in.pdf out

You should see at least one .jpeg file that you can open to see if the conversion was successful.

For all of the above to work, you need to have pdftoppm in your PATH.
